Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between sagittal spinopelvic parameters and low back pain and quality of life in individuals with lower extremity amputation.
Cluneal nerves are a group of pure sensory nerves that provide direct cutaneous innervation to the buttocks. Superior cluneal nerve(SCN) originates from the T11-L5 nerve roots and has at least 3 branches from medial to lateral; these are the medial, intermediate, and lateral branches. Anatomy studies have shown that the medial branch passes 6-7 cm lateral to the midline on the posterior iliac crest. Nerve branches pass through the osteofibrous tunnel formed by the thoracolumbar fascia and the superior edge of the iliac crest, where they can be trapped. Controversial data exist regarding the osteofibrous tunnel. It may not be present in all cases, and in some cases more than one nerve has been shown to pass through the osteofibrous tunnel. As a result, there are discussions about superior cluneal nerve anatomy and there is not enough information. In patients with superior cluneal nerve entrapment syndrome, low back pain radiates to the upper part of the hip and may cause leg pain that mimics radiculopathy. The diagnosis is clinical. Diagnostic criteria for superior cluneal nerve (SCN) entrapment; Low back pain involving the iliac crest and buttocks, symptoms aggravated by lumbar movement or posture, trigger point over the posterior iliac crest corresponding to the nerve compression zone, patients report numbness and radiating pain in the SCN area (Tinel sign) when the trigger point is compressed, symptom relief by SCN block at the trigger point. Prevalence studies of superior cluneal nerve entrapment syndrome are very few. Maigne et al reported superior cluneal nerve entrapment in 1.6% of 1,800 patients with low back pain. Kuniya et al showed that 14% of 834 patients with low back pain met the criteria for superior cluneal nerve entrapment. Superior cluneal nerve entrapment is not as rare as it is thought to be among the causes of low back pain. In Turkey, there is no study showing the prevalence of the superior cluneal nerve or its importance in patients with low back pain. The aim of this study is to examine the patients who applied to Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation polyclinic with low back pain; To confirm the diagnosis with an ultrasound-guided diagnostic injection test, to determine the importance of superior cluneal nerve entrapment.
Purpose: To determine the immediate effect of myofascial release application on pain, flexibility and trunk mobility in chronic low back pain (CLBP). Materials and methods: Forty patients with CLBP participated in this experimental study. Participants were grouped in randomized control. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used for pain assessment. Sit-Reach Test for flexibility evaluation and Straight Leg Raising Test with goniometric measurement for hamstring flexibility were used. Modified Schober Test was applied to evaluate trunk mobility. Comparison of the pre- and post-treatment evaluation data of the individuals in the same group was made using the "Wilcoxen Sum Rank Test", one of the non-parametric tests. Comparison of pre- and post-treatment evaluation data of both groups was performed using the non-parametric evaluation "Mann-Whitney U Test".
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of dance therapy on balance, falling, body awareness and functionality parameters in patients with chronic low back pain. As a result of our study, it is thought that dance therapy will positively affect balance, falling, body awareness and functionality in patients with chronic low back pain compared to conventional therapy. H 1: Dance therapy improves balance in women with chronic low back pain. H 2: Dance therapy reduces the risk of falling in women with chronic low back pain. H 3: Dance therapy increases body awareness in women with chronic low back pain. H 4: Dance therapy increases functionality in women with chronic low back pain. H 5: Dance therapy provides more improvement in the parameters investigated compared to conventional therapy in women with chronic low back pain.
A randomized single-blind clinical study will be performed. A sample size of 34 patients including only male gender, will be taken from various clinical settings of Faisalabad. Non-probability purposive sampling technique will be used. Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups. Treatment Group A will perform Conventional Physical Therapy and Diaphragm Manual Therapy and Group B will perform Conventional Physical Therapy and Sham Diaphragm Manual Therapy. Numerical Pain Rating Scale and lumbar range of motion scores will be assessed at pre-treatment, 2nd-week post-treatment and 4th-week post-treatment. Oswestry Disability Index scores and Short Form 12 Health Survey Questionnaire will be assessed at pre-treatment and 4th-week post-treatment. Statistical analysis will be performed on Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 25.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of segmental control exercises program on hamstring peak torque, pain, function, and ROM in patients with non-specific low back pain.
Randomized Clinical Trail (RCT) for patients already planned to attend physical therapy for chronic low back pain. Patients will be randomized to receive Physical Therapy (PT) as usual or PT plus pain education delivered via virtual-reality headset.
The purpose of the current research project is to examine if the healthcare professionals (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behavior about the management of low back pain (LBP) patients changes following an e-learning intervention (experimental interactive e-learning versus traditional non-interactive e-learning)
The aim of the study is determine the effects of lumbopelvic manipulation on fatigue, pain and disability in chronic low back pain patients. In this randomised clinical trial, lumbopelvic manipulation group was compared with conventional therapy group. Tools used in the study are numeric pain rating scale ,oswestry low back pain index and rating of fatigue scale.
Non-specific low back pain can be caused by the presence of active trigger points in the muscles of the lumbopelvic region. Trigger points are defined as hypersensitive points within a taut band of a musculoskeletal system that cause pain during contraction, stretching, or stimulation of said muscle. If these points are active, they can trigger referred pain, local tenderness, and vegetative responses. There is scientific evidence of the improvement of the treatment of these points through non-invasive manual techniques. The objective of this study will be to determine the effect of Strain Counterstrain and Myofascial Induction techniques in subjects with low back pain secondary to the presence of active trigger points in the lumbopelvic region. Hyperexcitable myofascial trigger points located within a taut band of skeletal muscle or fascia cause referred pain, local tenderness, and autonomic changes. The scientific data refer to an immediate improvement in the symptoms of these active points treated with manual therapy. Based on these factors, the objective of the study is to determine the effect of the combined therapy of the Strain Counterstrain technique and Myofascial Induction in participants with the presence of an active trigger point in the erector spinae muscle.
